• B. Aniket Kothale committee
• C. S L Jain committee
• D. Kirti Patekar committee
• E. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Sudhir Shrivastava committee

The Maharashtra government has constituted a 7-member committee headed by Additional Chief Secretary (Home) Sudhir Shrivastava to recommend ways to stop the custodial deaths. The formation of the panel comes in the wake of the custodial death of Aniket Kothale in Sangli city earlier in November 2017. The committee will also recommend measures so that people get proper treatment at police stations. It will also take into account the government circulars issued in the past as well as the judgments of the high court and Supreme Court.
